Technical details
The vulnerability is a command injection flaw (CWE-78) in the setTime function within the mainfunction.cgi component. Insufficient input validation and filtering of the username and password fields allows an authenticated attacker to inject OS commands that are executed with root privileges. The attack vector is network-based and requires valid administrative credentials to authenticate to the web management interface. A successful exploit enables arbitrary code execution on the affected appliance, giving an attacker full control over the switch. Patches are available in the fixed firmware versions listed by DrayTek for each affected model.
